In the Week 5 contest, I screwed up a setting and nobody's answers were recorded. Therefore, the winner was picked randomly from among all contest entrants. I apologize to the entrants for the botched job.

The winner of the Week 5 contest is Tony Johnson.

Reminder, winners have one week from the day they're notified to claim their prize.

Sponsored Post: Weekly NFL challenge sponsored by Main St. Pizza Company

By Howard B. Owens

Notes: A few weeks ago, Vic Marchese, owner of Main St. Pizza Company mentioned to me, almost offhand, that he thought it would be fun to sponsor a fantasy football contest for the 2011 NFL season. As it so happened, just of that very day, I had available the tools to make it happen. So here you go, a weekly football challenge sponsored by Main St. Pizza Company.

Each week, you will be asked to pick an NFL player who will lead the league in an offensive or defensive statistical category. All of the entrants who pick the correct player will be entered into a drawing to win that week's prize. This week, for example, is a sheet pizza from Main St. Pizza Company.

Each Tuesday we'll post who won the previous week's contest and the new challenge question.

Center Street Smokehouse is the place to be this Friday night! Tim Walton has arranged for MTV and reality star Wes Bergmann from "Road Rules: Challenge" and "Real World: Austin" to be in the house celebrating the season premier of his new show "Rivals: Challenge."

"We are going to have the place packed. It's going to be like Halloween, Thanksgiving and St. Patrick's Day in there. It's gonna be a fun night for everyone," says Walton, who also set up the iTeen event that will take place at 7 p.m. at the rink for teens.

He had gotten a lot of feedback from the adult crowd asking for an event to take place.

"I had people asking me when I was going to do something at a bar, so I decided to talk to Wes and he agreed to extend his party to the adult crowd that night."

The bar will feature the band "Night and Day" playing on the band deck and a radio DJ will be spinning Top 40 and dance hits upstairs all night.

"The DJ is something new that people had been asking for. You can come out and listen to the band or you can dance and party to Top 40 music. We are catering to both crowds."

A professional photographer has been hired for the event so whether you want a photo with Wes or with just your friends, they will be taken for everyone there.

Walton says that this is just what he hopes to be the first of many events. If this goes well, then there are other celebrities and events that he hopes to bring to the area later this year. We have been in contact with Bam Margera, Pauly D, and athletes as well."

Walton has been part of events in Buffalo that have had great feedback from everyone and hopes to see the same here.

"It's up to the people to let us know what they want. If they show up and make this big, more things will happen."

The event will take place from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
